Biodiversity & ESIA · Romania

ESIA and biodiversity consultants for renewable energy in Romania

Lender-standard, bankable biodiversity assessment for wind, solar and battery storage (BESS) — fluent in IFC PS6, EBRD, EIB and the Equator Principles, and in Romanian regulation. Delivered bilingually from Romania, across Eastern Europe and, where a project requires it, worldwide.

What we do

Biodiversity science for bankable renewable energy

Biodiversity is a Romanian environmental consultancy specialising in biodiversity assessment and Environmental & Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) for wind, solar and battery-storage (BESS) projects. We deliver baseline surveys, appropriate assessment, pre- and post-construction monitoring, and biodiversity management plans across the full range of biodiversity receptors: invertebrates, fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, mammals and bats, together with habitats and flora.

The difference

International standards, Romanian execution

Standards & locality, together

Studies that satisfy both the Romanian authorities and international lenders, prepared by a team based in Romania — at a Romanian cost base.

Bilingual by default

Every study is produced and reported in English and Romanian, so one set of deliverables serves both the regulator and the financier.

Full capability in-house

Every biodiversity receptor — fauna, flora and habitats — plus in-house GIS and spatial analysis, from baseline data to constraint mapping and management plans, under one roof.

How we work

One assessment lifecycle, end to end

01

Baseline surveys

Multi-season field data across all biodiversity receptors — the factual foundation.

02

Impact assessment

ESIA, Appropriate Assessment and Critical Habitat Assessment, applying the mitigation hierarchy.

03

Monitoring

Pre- and post-construction monitoring, including Band collision-risk modelling.

04

Management & offsets

Management plans, BAP and offset strategies to reach no net loss or net gain.

We prepare biodiversity and ESIA studies to international lender standards alongside Romanian law, so a single body of work serves both the financier and the permitting authority.

Track record

Local roots, regional reach

Based in Romania, we work across Eastern Europe and — where a project requires it — worldwide. To date we have delivered renewable-energy biodiversity and ESIA work in six countries: Romania, the Republic of Moldova, Albania, France, Georgia and Egypt.

Questions

Frequently asked

Does Biodiversity carry out ESIA to international lender standards?

Yes. We align biodiversity assessment and ESIA with IFC Performance Standard 6, EBRD PR6 and the Equator Principles IV, alongside Romanian regulation.

Where does Biodiversity operate?

We are based in Romania and have delivered renewable-energy biodiversity and ESIA work in Romania, the Republic of Moldova, Albania, France, Georgia and Egypt.

Which taxa do your surveys cover?

Invertebrates, fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, mammals and bats, together with habitats and flora — each surveyed to the level the site and standards require.

Do you provide deliverables in English and Romanian?

Yes — we work and report bilingually.

What does “lender-standard” or “bankable” ESIA mean?

Assessment prepared to the requirements financiers apply before funding a project, so the studies pass due diligence and reduce financing risk.
